SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,034, dated August 9, 1904:.

Application filed February 1l, 1901. Serial No. 46,785. (No model.)

T0 all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Vieron BLANGnn, of Seaview, in the town of Marshfield, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotary SpinningRings, ofl

which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to spinning' and twisting mechanism, and more particularly to rotary rings which are employed. as a part thereof.

It has beenA found that in spinning or twisting various grades of yarn for warp and lilling it is necessary to construct the rings of dierent weights.

The object of this invention is to provide a standard ring which may be employed for all sizes and grades of yarn, whether for warp or lilling, whereby the periphery of a ring, the traveler-race, and other essential parts may be unvarying, so that any ring may be einployed upon any spinning-frami-i regardless of the character of the yarn to be spun or twisted thereon. In order to accomplish th is, however, I provide means for varying' the weight of the ring in accordance with the character of the yarn.

Referring' to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 represents a vertical section through a ring embodying' my invention. Fig. 2 represents the ring when weighted for yarn of an intermediate size. Fig. 3 represents the ring as being' provided with a heavier weight. Figs. 4C and 5 represent one of the weights detached.

The ring itself, so far as its general features of construction are concerned, does not diiler from the one illustrated in my copending application, Serial No. 37,971, filed November 28, 1900. It is indicated at 10 and is shown as having the two horizontal flanges 11 and 12 at its upper end, which constitute the travoler-race. Between the external iiange 13 and its lower end and the flange 12 there is a beveled flange 14, which with the iiange 13 forms a groove for the reception of the ringlike casing 15, upon which the beveled side of the flange 14E is adapted to rest, as shown in Fig. 1. rlhis casing is attached to the rail 16 by a screw 17 and a resilient packing 18. The internal wall of thering is cylindrical, as indicated at 19, save for the groove 20, which is formed between the ends of the ring. A ring thus constructed may be of a weight desirable for use in connection with the lightest yarn, whether for warp or lilling, and constitutes what I term a standard. ring. be case-hardened and highly polished and may be employed upon any spinning or twisting frame. fln order to vary the ring, however, and lit it for heavier' or stronger yarns, I provide a series of graded attachments or weights, which may be secured to the ring to form a part thereof. These attachments or weights are graded for all of the various grades of yarn that are manufactured. Each attachment consists in the illustrated embodiment of the invention of a split ring 21, hav ing an external bead 22 adapted to enter the groove 2.0 of the ring 10. rlhe thickness of the ring is not suliicient to prevent the llilling of the bobbin to its fullest extent, the thicl ness of the attachments, however, being' variable in accordance with their weights. The said attachments may also vary in length in order to add the greatest weight to the ring.

In order to attach one of the weights to a ring, it is compressed and forced into the eylindrical aperture in the ring until' the bead. 22 enters the groove Q0, after which the inherent resiliency of the weight causes its ends to separate and it will become to all intents and purposes an integral part of the ring, so as to rotate freely therewith. It not essential that the weight should be constructed as I have described it, for it may be made in many different ways according to particular requirements without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. Preferably the upper end of the attachment Q1 is internally beveled to prevent the breaking of the yarn.V

It will be understood that the ring 10 is, like the ring 1() in my application previously referred to, capable of both axial and lateral movement in accordance with the varying strains upon the yarn and that when it is rotated rapidly it seeks the center of movement and to all intents and purposes moves in uni- It may IOO son with the traveler 23 on the traveler-race, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. It varies from said ring, however7 in that it is formed in two separate parts, one of which carries a race, the provision oi' the other part being' for varying the inertia of the ring or adding to its weight.

Having thus explained the nature of the invention and described a way of constructing and using' the same, although without attempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may bc made or all oi' the modes of its use, I declare that what I claim is4 l. A rotary spinning-ring having means for varying its inertia for yarn of various grades or sizes.

2. A rotary spinning-ring, having detachable means for varying' its inertia.

3. A rotary spinning-ring having' means for varying' its weight.

4. lIhe combination with a rotary spinningring, and a traveler thereon, of a series of graded attachments, adapted for separate use in connection therewith to adapt said ring for spinning' various grades or sizes of yarn.

5. The combination with a rotary spinningring' and a traveler thereon, of means for adapting said ring for various grades or sizes of yarn.

6. The combination with a rotary spinningring, of a circular removable weight therefor.

7. The combination with a rotary spinningring, of a series of graded weights adapted for separate attachment upon said ring.

8. A rotary spinning-ring consisting of two telescoping sections frictionally connected to rotate in unison.

9. A rotary spinning-ring of unvarying or standard size, having provisions for the attachment of a device independent of the traveler to vary the draft of the ring and traveler on the yarn.

10. A two-part rotary spinning-ring, the parts of which are detachable, but which are held against rotative movement relatively to each other.

ll. A two-part rotary spinning-ring, one part of which is equipped with a traveler-race, and is separable from the other part, said members being' connected against rotative movement relatively to each other.

AIn testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
